Nate Diaz thinks UFC and Usada ‘made up’ failed drugs test – ‘they had it out for me for a long time’
- ‘As soon as they could get me out, they could. I did not believe a second of any of it,’ Diaz says on UFC 244 media call
- Diaz says he would have been happy to wait a couple of months to fight Jorge Masvidal – ‘you ain’t ruining my whole legacy’
Nate Diaz has said he thinks the UFC and Usada “made up” his drugs test failure, which almost derailed this weekend’s highly anticipated Madison Square Garden main event.
The Stockton native will fight Jorge Masvidal for the “BMF” belt on Saturday night’s UFC 244 card after Usada, the UFC’s anti-doping partner, cleared his name.
“I thought it was all made up and a bunch of b******* anyway,” Diaz said on a media call on Monday. “It's behind us. Now, we can move on.”
“It's only cheating if you jump in under the influence of that s*** right?” he said. “So let's just say I did accidentally take some s***, which I didn't. Let's just say I did, though.
“Well then let's just f****** fight in a couple of months when the s*** wears off. I have no problem with that. I don't care if it ruins the show. You ain't ruining my whole legacy.”
